On profit above safety

As reported here: “Traffic Commissioner Sarah Bell has revoked the HGV operator’s licence for Frys Logistics Limited, saying it put profit before the law with a lack of regard to the rules which contributed to the death of End-to-End cyclists Andrew McMenigall and Toby Wallace 28 months ago.

Andrew was a clubmate of mine. I wrote about his and Toby’s death here, and the sentence handed down to the driver here. I don’t have much else to say, I just want to keep the link to the CTC article, which concludes:
The suspicion is that too many within the enforcement, regulatory and judicial process await the investigations and decisions of others, the consequences of which are delay, unnecessary distress for families of victims, and with HGVs, ongoing risk from operators whose licences need to be revoked.
